this should probably be in 'for sale' but here it is. saw this on cl today, two /6s for sale. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/2136821277.html i don't know who this is or talked to him, but somebody might want to jump on this. i would, but no workspace right now. :(

well, pulled the connection at the dash, dab of white lithium grease, jammed it back in, no noise since.

this is what you shouldn't do with your classic mopar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn-nGl5u7ZY

dam, you just beat me to posting this!! my mom sent me this link, and said "don't drive like this, please!" hahahaha!!! i replied, 'i would if i had a car like that!" i would probably be over the edge of that banking in under a minute, though. i'm not a big drifting fan, but holy hell that...

killer, doesn't sound too hard. thanks, i'll give it a shot and let ya'll know how it went.

not sure if this is the right forum, but... my speedo recently started doing this crazy bouncing back and forth and making a buzzing/grinding/whirring noise. it's intermittent. it usually starts if i go over a harsh bump at freeway speeds, and stops if i pull to a stop or just beat on the...

slant had been running poorly, really loud ticking, loss of power, rough idle, etc... monday i opened the valve cover to see what was up, and rod for intake #5 was bent pretty bad. i couldn't think what caused this, i haven't revved the motor past 3500 rpm, haven't had any backfires since...

i would think that as long as the vacuum advance for the dist was hooked up it should be ok. just cap the open ports. post some pics! i remember a line from the intake manifold to airfilter housing, also another one from carb to same. when i got my /6 duster there were a few capped lines...

well, lucky for me the heat wave ended and the dusters been running cool. new t-stat going in. (with holes for purging air :-D) thanks for the tips!

too true. 'analysis paralysis' for me, it's mostly just bench racing anyway.

couple questions about plugs. got the ngks (zfr5n), gapped them to .040, pulled the washers off. seemed to run well. after about 300 miles i pulled them to see how they're holding up. it looks like #1 is getting oil on it/burning oil. maybe bad valve seal, but it looks like there's oil...

lots of overheating issues/questions these days, so heres one more. hottest day of the year yesterday, 101f, cruising at noon down the freeway, engine running around 210-220 (2/3 to H on gage)for 15 minutes or so. later, when the outside temps went down, the car ran perfectly cool. this is a...

offy intake holley 390, vac secs, elec choke head milled .090" ss valves from enginebuilder (1.70, 1.44) head ported/polished by me mopar valve springs (for a 340?) high pressure relief springs for oil pump hooker super comp headers, dual exhaust mopar perf. cam

well, reset lash at .020 intake .024 exhaust, set idle at 700 rpm. runs like a Champ!! smooth idle, pulls hard, feels great, and no noticeable valve clacking! didn't get it too fast though. when pulling to a stop, the revs drop kinda low, stumbles slightly. got the day off tomorrow, so i'll...

yeah, stock stall converter. i should have swapped that out while engine was out. just wasn't sure exactly what i should be looking for as far as stall speed. commando, by mechanical you mean solid lifters? if so, yes. i sure don't wan to damage the valvetrain, so wider they go. it's just...
